[pct-l] Rain Gear Question

[Marcia]

I was just talking to a friend about the isotope. She said the jacket has a 
reputation of abrading from pack straps on the shoulders and then leaking. 
Too bad because I liked the weight too.
YMMV

Say, does anyone know about the  Sierra Designs Isotope rain jacket?  In the
large size it weighs 5.2  ounces.  That is not bad at all for a breathable
jacket with a hood, full  zip front and pockets.  Go to
_www.moontrail.com/sierradesigns-isotope.php_ 
(http://www.moontrail.com/sierradesigns-isotope.php)   or
_www.sierradesigns.com/mens.display.php?id=580_
(http://www.sierradesigns.com/mens.display.php?id=580)    to check it out.

The large Isotope pants weigh in at  4.8 ounces.  So, in large the jacket 
and
pants weight a total of 10  ounces.  That is not too shabby at all for a
material that seems fairly  strong and wear resistant.

I was just wondering about it,  since it is so light and breathable.

Thanks, Switchback
